Elateroidea Recording Scheme

This recording scheme covers the click beetles and allies in families Elateridae, Eucnemidae and Throscidae. 

This recording scheme was led by Howard Mendel who established it in 1983 and continued running the scheme until 2024, when he published the Click-beetles of Great Britain and Ireland. We are enormously grateful to Howard for his expertise and long-running contribution to this scheme.

The scheme is currently without a scheme organiser. Records of click-beetles can be added to iRecord and will be made available to any future recording scheme.
